WiTH BOWMAN By Hank Bwman It's easy for a boatman to get mired down in the ruts of routine and turn his recreational sport into a chore or a bore. My family and I enjoy power boat racing. Several summers ago we became so involved in --campaigning our racing equipment that the race schedule began to lose much of its extjg& gment. We had allowed our •boating activity to slip out of realm of fun. Instead of waiting's competitive aspects refreshing us we had tired of it bggause we'd allowed its keen edge to be dulled by repetition. A one-sided approach to a sport with so many interesting facets had been foolish. We realized this when we dropped racing for a few week-ends, took a leisurely houseboat trip and were surprised how much SBLall enjoyed ourselves. - -We still like the competition organized speed events, but -often we try a change of pace, a switch to fishing, cruising, water skiing and other activities that are part of the overall boating scene. Every boatman is conscious that pleasure craft offers a broad variety of on-the-water activity, but many of us fail to ^vary our approach to tlte sport. Recently I discussed * AthTs with a number of boating friends and found that they, toW, had fallen into the trap of repeating the same pattern. One wife admitted that boating to her had come to mean preparing snacks, complete meals and cleaning up after a seem- . ingly endless complement of weekend guests. -,.r„,"And most of the time we * stay tied up to a dock waiting for people to come aboard or leave," she lamented. ......Another boat owner said his " 'children had to be pressured to' take part in family boating "••activity. He agreed there was '"^' monotony to his family's boating, that week after week tftfey engaged in group cruises with the same people. Until our bull session, however, he'd "never realized what had caused his children's growing disin- . terest. ----It might be well for you to ' tflfte stock and decide whether you're getting the pleasure and ---the relaxation from boating .--.you had expected when you ---bought your equipment. Maintenance can be fun. Some mariners get more 31easure from fitting out and eepim.? their pampered water --craft in perfect condition than Hirty gain from actual use of <--their boats. But if you don't "happen to fall into this cate- ~~--gory, why beat yourself out Shining bright work and keep- ~^-1ng paint glistening just so -- your fellow boatmen won't look on you as a seagoing slob? Let a little rust gather, it's your boat, and more important it's your leisure time being used to keep it gleaming. Only you can decide how to spend your time afloat. But re- ""!'member boating's recreational possibilities are almost limitless SQ. don't drag anchor or moor to monotony if a varied boating pattern will offer you more relaxation and pleasure. i - %' Tuberculosis is caused by a germ that can easily be spread from one person to another.

DHIA PROGRAM The McHenry County Dairy Herd Improvement association board of directors has approved the plan to offer solids- not-fat testing to DHIA cooperators. The association will purchase the necessary equipment and the University of Illinois dairy extension specialists will train the DHIA supervisers. Because of the time required to obtain the equipment, SNF testing will probably begin in the month of June. Under the system adopted, the percentage of SNF for each cow tested will be the only information offered. SNF testing of herds is on a voluntary basis for individual dairymen. McHenry county dairymen who do n6t have their name on the list to be tested should contact the Agricultural Extension office, Rt. 47 and McConnell road, Woodstock, the DHIA board of directors or the DHIA supervisors in your area.
